Characteristics of EffectiveCPD
Based on the professional development
practices and experiences of high performing
countries, we can say that a CPD that works is
(1) continuous; (2) collaborative; (3) focused on
specific teacher needed; (4) job-embedded; (5)
given enough time and (6) funded. The one-
shot workshops that teachers bemoan don’t
work.
